Bruins are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. Big Ten.

Fighting Illini are 6-15 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.

Fighting Illini are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games after accumulating less than 275 total yards in their previous game.

Under is 4-1 in Bruins last 5 games after allowing more than 40 points in their previous game.

Under is 6-2 in Bruins last 8 games overall.

Under is 6-0 in Fighting Illini last 6 games following a S.U. loss.

Under is 4-0 in Fighting Illini last 4 games as a favorite.

My Prediction: This Bowl game is also being called the ‘Who Cares Bowl’. Both of these teams have no business being here. Illinois became Bowl eligible on October 8th with a win over Indiana to go 6-0. They then went on to lose their last 6 games to finish 6-6. Pathetic. UCLA in my book isn’t even Bowl eligible. I thought you had to have a winning record to go bowling. Either way, these teams will be playing New Year’s Eve and I have to pick a winner. Compared to Illinois, UCLA is on fire, winning 1 of their last 4. Take UCLA and watch one of the other bowl games.

UCLA +2.5
